i I IREL NND (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. SEPT. 8 CAPT AIN Captain VIGNOLE S —Yesterday a Ietter DUBLIN, S. addressed Vignoles by Mr. Drummond, the Under Secretary of was publi s h e d i n the Mail, and has excited all man. commentary in the Dublin J )urnals. The facts of the ease are took place briefly t h ese :—At the Car low election a rencontre pl7e between C apta i n Vi ano l es, who was there as a Sti en Magistrate, and Captain Gleeson, chief of constabu -lat3'.. The fo rmer attempted to wrest a sword from the latter, for tiro purpo se o f attac k ing the crowd; the latter resisted the attempt, and subsequently made a complaint to Government on the subject. An investigation took place, at which some p ar ties swore th at Vignolcs drew Gleeson's sword out of the scabbard in the struggle, and other witnesses alleged other acts of violence against him. Government felt bound to cen sures him f or attempting to deprive a brother officer of his _yitord w hil e on duty, which they did, w ith ou t an y r ef er ence to tIIC othe r acts of violence with which he was charged. Capt. jYlgnoles afterwards succeeded in obtaining a verdict of per uryagainst some of the witnesses against him, who however bad sworn to matters unconnected wi:ls the unmilitary conduct for w hi ch he was censured, which he, be it remembered, never den ed. O n , this , n e wrote to Government, requiring to have the censure withdrawn, and Mr. Drummond's letter is in answer to his application. He tells him that, not only has he shown no cause for removing, or even modifying, the censure, but that he alleged matters against Captain Gleeson which he has not proved, and behaved to him upon the occasion of the last tri al —a couple of months ago—in a very reprehensible man her, So much for the Tory chief. COMBINATION.—Another act of violence arising out of com binatioa has just been committed. On Wednesday a boat, the Operty of a corn-factor of Dublin, was burned at Mullingar, County Westmeath, because, during the temporary absence of the " captain," a Dublin man was appointed to succeed him, and not a native of Mullingar. The boat was worth 50/ or 501 . The recommendations of the Committee on Combina tion are earnestly looked for in this country, as it is hoped they will be calculated to put an end to this frightful nuisance. Mr. Hume has addressed a letter to the Editor of the Morning Register, on the subject of the caution with which he was served by the Queen's printers, not to follow the example of the Evening Post in copying the Poor-law Act. He pre tests strongly against the pres'tnt system of monopoly, and re commends a meeting of the Editors of all the Irish Journals, either to devise means of defeating the restriction, or to apply to Government on the subject. it strikes me that if the ques tion were brought before Parliament, they could not fail see ing, that not only ought the restriction to be withdrawn, but if the people are to know the laws they are expected to obey, eery new Act of importance should be inserted as an adver tsement in every newspaper in the empire. The reasonable ness of this suggestion needs no comment, but the Press must atir actively in the matter before anything will be done by the Public or by P,Jliament. LO5O Canstoitsz --This young Nobleman has just come of 41g io which cir cumstance w ill h ave some i n fl uen ce upon the political aff a i r s in sever a l c ounties, particularly in a°naglian.

TUE TU RF AFFAIR.—The second meeting on the subject of Mr. Ferguson's charges against the Turf Club terminated truth held, of hi s a ll egations. Another, a private, meet i ng w ill b e for the purpose of deciding whether he will be permitted to remain a member of the Coffee-room. 'e tithe meeting will take place in Mayo to-morrow, at Which it is expected Dr. M'Hale will be present. Violent anti.tithe resolutions will be brought forward and, I presume, adopted. Air.

The engines of _ Gulnare were then revered and set forward, when a se 'cond time she struck the Royal William, and carried away trie fore-gangway. The spectators on shore could in no way I , account fur this extraordinary occurrence. LORD BROUGHAM.

Brouga m a, S 81, 4--In a nswer to t h e inquiritsh of you and Sept. those lB other f riends whom I had the great pleasure of seeing here two Years ago, I have to state that the supposition of my having determined to visit Scotland this autumn was founded on a Misapprehension. At one time I thought it probable that I should be obliged to attend a ceremony in one of the Northern Universities. But as I know from the experience of 1834 how very difficult it teould be (with every disposition I might have, and every pre raution I might take) to avoid attending political meetings if I went there, I have done my endeavour to avoid going there at all this season, and I trust I have succeeded. It may be asked why I have so strong a dislike to attend lor rolitical assemblies, especially during the recess of Parliament; rathe r why I do not overcome that disinclination, for the at4vaneement of my political principles. My answer is, that I ' s hould now, as I occasionally h ave done before, lay my own l e e elinati ons out of the question, if I really could be convinced eat any g oo d wou l d result from my undergoing a great per willinconvenience. B ut I am sure that more advantage follow from confining my exertions in behalf of those 13 , 11 , 4 eiples t o my place in Parli amen t, w h ere I am a l ways ` e ue found. ThLet not our friends, the friends of Reform and improve thee, et, imagi ne t h at I conceive the present to be a time when fig 'r most strenuou s exert i ons can b e dispensed with.

My firm is, that tha , county domestic p eace an d good order fon _ y be al better eserved—that its the _el.gn aff.ir s will will always be ways pr te more steadily adminisred—that ti,.l first ble ss i ngs of the political state, the very end and most polity (I m ean peace at h ome and abroad), will 40...._i is rcertainly maintai ne d—i n t h e country whose Govern taaroundel upon the most extensive, that is, the most po etst,,,,sA!'ase. W e are far enough from that at present—and y are in the East pulling down and setting up b:l'ees, and extorting subsidiary treaties from our Royal Pup the West passing wholesale Bills of attainder against persons in their absence, and w:tl:out even any notice—and everywhere keeping up costly settlements for the sake of the atronsge they bestow; while at home we have had the public burthens nearly station iry for these twenty years of peace, and find a close union of both the great regular parties in the State to support the laws by which bread is made dear, the trade in all corn but our own extinguished, and the foreign markets closed against the produce of our manufactories. Mark, too, in passing., the evil effects, the gross and even ridi culous inconsistencies of the party principle, when abused, which in its just uses is so favourable to popular rights, and so great a shield against oppression. In 1820 I ha 1 th, hearty support of the regular Whig partizans (we being 01 then e against i the very worst act the Tories ev er did,i npp their o Bill osfintio)keeping e the' Queen out of her adopted coun try, to please the King, all " without sheddinr , her blood" of course—but the Tory Bill was not made behind the Queen's back. We were heard for two months against it, and we defeated it. Yet those same Whig partizans now, to please a Viceroy's blundering Council (for I am sure it can be no measure of his own) defend a Bill, passed in two hours, for the attainder of 16 men wholly unaware of the measure, and whom it is intended only to keep out of their native country, " without shedding their blood," of coursa—a Bill described by one of its authors, without any exaggeration, " as an act of horrible injustice and despotism." When Parliament meets we shall see whether or not the same resistance to all reform will continue to be offered, by which the opening of the last Session was so remarkably distin guished from all its predecessors. If the interval shall be em ployed by the people in calmly but firmly making their senti ments and their determination known to their representatives, better things may be expected for ourselves at home, as better things have been effected than were at first granted for our fel low subjects in the colonies, by the force of public opi nion alone. If the people show themselves indifferent to what most concerns them, then another exhibition will be made of the mere game of parties, which was well enough suited to a former state of things, and did occasionally service to the country, but which in the present day can have no other effect than to defraud the nation of its just rights, and to suspend the progress of public improvement. With my best respects to the other gentlemen, I have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, BROUGHAM. W. Tait, Esq , Edinburgh. P. S.—l trust that nothing in this letter will lead you to suppose that I consider the people bound to be still and inac tive upon practical questions of great moment, such as the Corn-laws, the Irish Church, or,-Popular Education, because they are deprived of their just share in the representation. That by no means follows. They may do great good in keep ing their representatives right, even under the present defec tive system. THE GEOLOGY OF MOSES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sept. 8, 1838. Sitt—You are quite right in assuming, in your valuable Paper of Friday last, that Moses connected with the word earth (in Hebrew " Ercz") a different idea from what we do, and that he had no idea of its extent and globular form. Is there any evidence that he was inspired upon this su' , ject, and on the subject of the creation generally? Certainly not; he never claims it. He, as well as all other authors of the Old Testament, speaks of the earth according to what was known then. The account of the formation of the world, in the firs' Book of Moses, must be deemed highly incorrect ; it has been proved so by modern researches in geology ; but here I will refer only to this circumstance, that the sun is stated to have been created at a subsequent stage of tie formation of the world, when, one should think, he would have been wanted first of all. The formation of the world proceeded thee, first, in a state of darkness, which no one can bring himself to believe to be true. Moreover, when the commander Joshua is reported to hare been fighting a battle, " the sun was or dered to stand, and not to move until he had finished and ob tained victory." From this it is clear that the Israelites thought the sun was merely created for the use of the people whom they knew, and not for those inhabiting the opposite part of ours, of whom they knew nothing. But the real question is, whether Moses wrote at all the ac count of the creation of the world now bearing his name. This question has been long since settled in Germany by the most erudite and careful researches of a great many profes sors in divinity. The first chapters of the books of Moses were compiled from different sources, one calling God Elohim, the other Jehovah—the third Jehovah Elohim. The fragments were ill connected, and their beginning and end may, as yet, be pointed out to Hebrew scholars. The author of the fragment Elohim proves, by this very name, that he had not yet any idea of the unity of God, since this word is a plural, and means gods. In addition, Children of God aro mentioned as opposed to Children of Men. The author of this fragment lived evidently at a time when a belief p -evaded simi lar to that of Greeks and Romans, with whom their Gods had a family. It has been proved that Moses knew of no other material for records than stone. It cannot, consequently, be presumed that of his composition there should be in the Old Testament much more than the Commandments. If the whole of the five books of Moses had been on stone he would have wanted a large train of waggons to carry them w t t him when they wandered about in the desert. The five books now bearing the name of Moses have been written at different periods, and finally arranged by Esras. Among other proofs are also the Chaldaic, Persian, and other foreign word=, which are found in the Pentateuch, and got currency among the Jews only at ti ;e time of the Babylonian captivity. The ClirgY of this country is, however, totally ignorant of these subjec.. I heard the Archbishop of Canterbury saying in the Upper Hon: about about three years ago, it was much to be regretted that the Clerg: of :: this country learned everything I saw this st dement also e xcept what they ought to know. Reports. To prove a fterwards printed in the Parlamentet.: thst his Grace is right, I may add a few words. I will net now state at large in what manner Clergynieti in Germany are trained, and what is required of them when they offer for holy orders. This would take too much space, though it would be a perfect explanation of what his Grace said, and fully show what the English Clergy eught to know. I will only state, that of many sciences taught in the German Uni versities, the Clergy of this country has not even a genera! idea, nay, hardly heard the name. Of this kind is the Kato-- Wile, or the science teaching properly to instruct children, and particularly to put to them questions in a manner that their m e i s n d or s m no. ay be expanded, and that they never artswer simply v Another science is the Pastoralwissenschaft, or tLe science of properly performing clerical duties, in marrying persons, solving scruples of conscience, attending the sick bed, & c , Every word of the Greek Testament is explained to students of divinity in Germany, and they must prove to have attended lectures on all books of the New, and the most es sential books of the Old Testament fur three years. The New Testament is founded on the Old, its Greek lan guage turned according- to the Hebrew style, and many pelts of it have been originally written in Hebrew. I cannot, therefore, deem English Clergymen competeet to decide on learned questions of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, or of the Greek text of the New Testament, because they are generally- ignorant or Hebrew and sound theological le.rn ing. In the education of Clergymen there must be in this country a great reform. ALEPH (of Germany). DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT WESTERN. BRISTOL. BTH SEFT. 1838.—The Great Western took her departure on her fourth trans-Atlantic voyage, at half•past five o'clock this evening. The steamers Cambria and St. David were employed from an early hour in the morning, in conveying passengers, goods, and luggage from the Hotwells to Kingroad , where tit," Great Western was lying. She carries one hundred and thirty six passengers (including servants,) amongst whom, were Professor Bache. (grandson of 1)r. Franklin,) Profes sor Paleson, Judge Woridward, Mr. Wilson, the vocalist, Mr. George Combe, the celebrated Phrenologist, Miss Sherriff, Mrs Bolton, &c., &c. She has also a full cargo of very va luable goods, chiefly manuractured silks, laces, and cottons. The passengers' luggage alone is estimated at nearly one hundred tons, measurement. Such was the demand for berths in this beautiful vessel, from the reputation she has now acquired, not only on account of the sup , riority of her accommo dations, and her great speed, but for the regularity with which she accomplishes every trip, that from 40 to 50 appli cations were obliged to be refused, and premiums of ten and twenty guineas, and even higher sums, were offered for berths but the Company are making active preparations for othe r vessels to be placed on the line, so that next season they hope to be in a situation to reap the full reward to which they are justly entitled, both on account of the peculiar natural advan tages which Bristol possesses in its geographical position, as well as their having been the first to commence and bring to a successful issue, the grand experiment of trans-Atlantic steam navigation. On this occasion the arrangements were more than ordinarily complete ; no bustle or confusion whatever ; everything harmonious and orderly ; and before the vessel was under weigh, we had the satisfaction of sitting down to dine at the saloon table, laid out in the most splendid manner, Cap tain Hoskens presiding, with nearly 150 passengers and their friends. That enterprising Steam Packet Company, Messrs. Jones and Co., accommodated the public, by allowing their beauti ful new steamer the Usk to run down channel, in order that visitors might have an opportunity of gratifying themselves by a sight of the Great Western steaminti down to the points, and a large number of our citizens availed themselves of it. The evening was beautifully fine ; the wind fair ; the sails set ; and it was indeed a high gratification to behold this huge, but beautiful creature, as if conscious of her superiority, thus one again— " Walk the waters like a thing of life !" Nor was the scene without its interest in the affections, at the moment of parting particularly ; the crews ani passengers in the Great Western and in the several smaller steamers re echoing each others cheers, whilst the tears were seen starting down the fair cheeks of most of the Min who were leaving those near and dear to them ; and even in the eyes of many of the harsher sex the tear gistened in sympathy; but by far the greater part appeared to be unable to resist the general impulse, and " one cheer more," " give three more cheers," were heard from all sides. Sear, ral of the Directors were on board, and Edward Divett, Esq , the active Nlembt.r for. Exeter, accompanied them on board, and appeared to be much gratified at the ready cxpla tions given by the Managers to his very numerous inquiries as to the merits of the undertaking, the construction of the vessel, &c. The Prince and Princess of Oldenburg and suite are making a tour of flarrowgate, Scarborough, and the watering places on that side of the coast. They will then return to the Clarendon Hotel, after Doncaster races. LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA. IMPORTANT FROM 1-IAVANNAII. ( From the Nen, Orleans Commercial Bulletin.) " TBOUBLES IN HAVANNA!! AND PORTO RICO. —The steam-ship Natchez having been detained at Key West for want of fuel, a schooner was despatched to Ilavannah to pro etu e a supp!y of coal. The officer sent in - command of the schooner stated, on his return to Key West, that there had been some scrious disturbances among the troops at liavan lab. The circumstances and particulars ha'l boon kept a se cret, as far as possible, by the public authorities ; so that nothing certain had transpired, as to the cause or origi n of the zfreir. " This much is ascertained, that a conspiracy was detected among the troops and officers of sever al regiments garrisoning the Moro Castle, through the treachery of one of the indivi duals implicated. They were, it was supposed, dissatisfied wi:h the removal of General Tacon, but this is all conjec ture. The discovery of the t•eason led to the most vigorous measures on the part of the new Governor (E.rpeleta), t o crush it in the bud. The gates were immediately shut upon the regiments in their barracks, and the fort which they garrisoned converted into their prison. Eighty of the ringleaders were seized and executed on the spot, and as many more detained under arrest, awaiting a confirmation of their guilt. From the frequent and heavy firing heard from the Fort, it was supposed that a severe conflict took place be tween the conspirators and the Government force. In Ha vannah the disturbance produced among the inhabitants great agitation and excitement, heightened by the mystery with which it was shrouded. On the departure of the schooner all was quiet ; the insurrection having been effectually put down by the energy and promptitude of Governor Espeleta. TIIE GRAIN-MARKET.—Our report of the markets in another part of to-day's American, records the extraordinary fluctuations which have attended the value of corn within the past week. We stated that on Monday prices had risen to one dollar per bushel, but the decline since then has almost been as rapid as the rise, for yesterday sales were made at 86 cents. per bushel. The recent rains, which have been the means of s icing parts of crops that in many cases had pre viously been given up for lost, have doubtless had their influ ence in reducing prices from their late elevation. —Baltim ore American. " VIRGINIA.—With regard to the tobacco crop, the Peters burgh Intelbgencer of Friday says :-- 1 The last letters from all the tobacco secti an of country south of James River repre sent the crop to b.:. in a most deplorable state. We have no very late information from the north side of James River, but fo n the unusual drought wa bel eve the same state of things exists all over the state of Virginia. The tobacco speculators must r( ap a good harvest this year." " The following portentous bulletin corn s in a slip directed to the Gazetie'—whether the New York paper of that name or some other, we know not ; but at any rate it is in our bands and we hasten to place it before our anxious readers,' though heaven only knows what it means precisely.

When we say,• tat if we do not do so, our house will be burned, our helpless, innocent children and b•loved wife murdered, and the few gallant friends we have, sacrificed, and that property would be i'estroyed in the city, that fifty years would not replace, we say the truth.

Colonel Hill's Regiment of Queen's Light In fantry, being the last, arrived here on Saturday from Stnd wich. It will be seen from an extract from the Sandwich Herald, that Sir John Colborne, when there, had made ar rangements to fortify tha Western frontier, where, we under stand, there are no more thin about 100 troops stationed at present. The province has now assumed its wontel peaceful appearance ; we hear of no invasions or piratical incursions upon the frontier. How long this may continue it is hard to say, as there are still on the opposite shore numbers of refu gees and pirates." We take the following items from the last Montreal Courier. The first of them is very doubtful : '• A report was pretty general yester.lay that Lord Dur ham has received instructions by the Great Western to order the execution of Sutherland and Then, r. " The wives of Chandler and Waite, two orthe condemned prisoners for the Short aff.ir, went down last night in the Canada.

We have just learned, from an authentic source, of the murder of two families in Ware county by the Indians. Mr. Wilde and family were murdered on the 17th inst., and Mr. John Davis and f tinily on the 24th, nor more than 25 miles from Waynesville. Mr. Davi; is well known, having formerly been a member of the Legislature. These murders were perpetrated by five Indi4nc, whose trail was followed by the the Okettnokee ixamp where they neighbours into trails so large, and indicating the vicinity l of ' Indians, so many that they wer ' e obliged to return. They estimate that there are as many as four or five hundred in the swamp.

THE HARVEST. (LATEST saws. ) The damage done to the crops tLis week, we are afraid, has ben very serious. Fram Monday night till early in the morn ing of yesterday, the rain fell in torrents, and almost without intermission. Yesterday, though dull and heavy, was dry ; and we woul I fain hope that a favourable tack of ws ether is before us. The Water of Leith is greatly swollen, in conse quence of the late rains; and numerous fields in the neigh bourhood of the city have been very muc'a floaded —Scotsman. The weather has assumed a most alarming aspect. Harvest has, nevertheless, commenced briskly; and if favoured by a week so dry as this day happens to be, the half at least of the crops in the dale laud will have yielded to the sickle. —Ayr shire Examiner. Since Monday night last we have experienced a continuance A unfropitious and boisterous weather, which is calculated to excite the worst apprehensions for the treasures of the field. About six o'clock of that evening the rain commenced, and las with but slight cessations continued to descend in copious supplies. Yesterday the Tweed by its colour began to show Imptoms of similar weather being experienced in the West, abl to-day it is rolling quite a flood. So high was it this morning (Saturday), that it entered several houses in Tweed mouth.—Berwick Advertiser. On Monday last, a few reapers appeared at the Cross for the first time this season, and as there were several farmers in town for a few, they were all engaged at from Is. 6J. to Is. Bd. a day. Since that day until yesterday morning, the rain has been almost continued, and a complete stop was jut to harvest operations. Yesterday morning (Friday) the weather again set in fair, and a number of reapers were hired at wages from Is. 10.1. to 2s. M. B:own, farmer, Alton, who engaged thirty, has thrce large fields ready fur the sickle, which would have been cut this week had the weather been favourable. We learn from a farmer in the neighbourhood, well acquainted with the state of the crops in this district, that if the weather continue favourable, harvest will be quite general in about eight days hence. Reapers will probably be In daily demand from and after Monday next.—Paisley Adver. We regret to state that the weather since Sunday has been such as completely to retard the operation of cutting down the crops. During the whole of Wednesday and yesterday the rain fell incessantly, and at times in such heavy shower; that both the Tweed and Teviot rose to a considerable height. Had the weather continued favourable the harvest would have been general in this neighbourhood, end much grain would haze la...en brought under tha sickle. We understand that in many places fine fields of wheat and oats, which are remarkably heavy in the ear, arc so much pressed down that they appear as if a roller had passed over them. —iCe/so Chronicle. We perceive from newspipers and letters, that the heavy rains of Tuesday and Wedneslay last have been very general aver the country, and, we regret to learn, that in many places their effects will be severoly felt. Much grain has been laid down in an unripe state, and will not now ripen, so that in ad . lition to defective crops, we shall also have their quality much deteriorated. In various quaff tors, too, the same heavy rains have proved somewhat, though not so deeply, injurious.— Scots Times The weather, we aro extremely sorry to say, is as unsea sonable as it could well be. Monday was a floe dry day until the afternoon, when rain commenced, which has continued, nearly without intermission, during Tuesday, Wednesday, and 'o-day, without, we regret to add, the slightest appearance cf t fayourp.hde change.— Greenock Advertiser, The weather on Tuesday, and the whole of yesterday, was is inauspiciou4 for the crops as it could p ssibly be, the rain having fallen heavily, and almost without intermission, accom panied with a cold wind from the eastward. In this neigh bourhood harvest operations are completely suspended in con sequence of the rains. —Giusgoto Chronicle. Wednesday and Thursday, particularly the latter, were un propitious days. From &out one o'clock on Friday morning until near seven, it continued incessantly raining in Dublin and its vicinity, and the after part of the day continued cold and ungenial. The barometer, however, was slowly but steadily on the advance. The accounts from the country, re ceived yesterday (Friday) and this morning, are however, fa vourable, and, upon the whole, we should think no serious in jury has yet been done ; while, on the other hand, harvesting proceeds with accelerated activity. —Dublin Evening Post. Much rain has fallen since our last, and still the weather looks rather threateping ; but, nevertheless, we see no ground for changing our views as to the result of the har vest. The rain of the last two days can have done no ma terial injury; and a week or two of fine weather would, we think, be nearly sufficient to secnre the ecru still on the ground. Our accounts from the country continue to bc ge nerally favourable.— lVaterford Chronicle. The weather, which had been up to Tuesday, generally speak'ng, propitious for harvest operations, has, since then, undergone a change adverse to the, intet'eats of the f"rrner.

Further west and north-west from us the harvest is beginning. We hear the wheat crop generally complained of, b u t the barley and oats very fine. The harvest in and around Dartmouth and the River Dart is mostly housed, and in a few fine cll a the whole will be secured in as good a state as could be wished for by any person, the crop is also considered to be beyond an average.— Western Times, The wheat harvest continued to progress very rapidly on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ; on the latter day the hand of the barometer moved gradually to " Change," and in the eventinc , it pointed to Rain ;" dus unfavo ura bl e s i gn, with a slight evening in the morning, quickened the l a b ours o f the harvest folks. On Wednesday night the rain fell in torrents, and several heavy showers on Thursday morning, completely stopped the hauling; however, a very large breadth of wheat, had in this neighbourhood been safely gathered in excellent condition by the close of Wednesday. Yesterday ( Friday) the morning opened fine, but there were intermittent showers so that th e h arvest has been completely checked. We hope that th e weather will immedia.ely be during the favourable, otherwise the consequence will be very serious to the country at large. The harvest has partially commenced in this neighbourhood, and a few patches of barley have yielded t o t h e s i c kl e. Th e lust week of fine weather Las produced a wonderful change in the appearance of the crops; if such weather continue, we may expect the harvest to be general in a very short time. The crops are not heavy, and taken in the aggregate, may be considered below the average of former years.—Tyne Mer cury, this week the weather has beets less favourable, but we trust the rain has not been such as to injure the comparatively small quantity yet to be saved.

The breading up of the whole Toren! Ofalia CAA het is considered perfectly settled and unavoidable, as none of fractions could stand by themselves rafter the support font the main seen is withdrawn, a hich is already the ease, the leading mei of the Moderato party having deelered themselves against the President of the Council. On the &aerie, where the e was but one cash transaction at yesterd y's price, 184, it was stunned that the aforesaid two Ministers, Mese•s. Mon and Cast o, were out of o:Ece. I am told that the Queen stated last night to Count Ofalia that the whole Cabinet must be changed. I cannot vouch for the truth of this. Count Ofalia is not likely to have repeated it to others had the Queen actually said so. * The Gazette of thi s d ay contains a despatch from Count Luchana, transmitting a communication from General Don Laureano Sanz, from Burgos, that in the morning of the 19th the united bands of Vidaldo and Balmaseds. 350 men of both armies in number, attacked the town of Roa, when, after St de!ermined resistance of the National Guard and garrison, the en, my was compelled to retire with a considerable loss, carry ing off three cart-loads of wounded, a captain and a subaltern being ; mon; the killed. The same Major-General Sans writes on the 27th, from Burgos, that Balmaseda penetrated during the night of the 24th into Riaza, committing all sort of vexations till the arrival of Co'oncl Valderamo's column next morning, whose advanced guar I made some prisoners in the streets of the place, Don Geronimo Valdes, the Captain-Generel of Galicia, le per's, that, in consequence of the operations of the rebel chief Jose G.l Araujo, he and six of his hand were kilied, two of sal o n had rendered themselves peculiarly foneidable by their at o hies, and that three others were taken prisoners.

REQUENA, Attu. 28.—1 t is reported this morning that the bands of Arrago n a r e new marching from Algodin to Buniol, perhaps going 'to Chelva. In th's city we are prepared for them, end their attempts sail' be foiled here. At Murcia on the 28th, letters had been received from Alicante of the preceding day's d a t e , stat i ng that Cabrera with hi s f orces was on the 20th before Jatiya, at 2 o'clock that afternoon. Probably he cot,ld not enter that town, as a great elated of dust was in the evening seen towards the pass of fienigardm, and that may have been caused by their march. ing to the left. Tha Valencia mail duo yesterday arrived this morning, bringing letters and journals to the 28th inclusive. The eacmy sleie on the 2ath at Toronto de Picana, and took away all the horses and whatever he could find. The band of the Nationale played at the gate of San Vicente. The rebels marched by r.;ataroj a to Albar, and joined another column, that of Arnan ; a battalion of Nationals kept good watch at the gate, and a detachment wee rent to far as the vicinity of Sills, at 3 A. si.„ to reconnoitre. Some mounted Nationals reconaoitred tovvarde GP•10, where the enemy was said to be, and returned safely fro.n Masanasa. On the 27th the rebels carried off many persons, mostly wo.nen and children. At 5 P.M. they were encamped near the high read, and robbed all the passengers:. They were metalled from Cuilera, and revenged themselves by destroying the flood-gatf s. Valde s and Desceillar, with their troops, were at Chive, and, intended to attack the enemy. On the 24th the rebels essassinated Captain Don Carlos Deliete to Albalate. _ • . —lna was prepared for defence on the 26th. At Andilla the rebels had demanded 1,500 rations. The brigade of Des czillar sent a detachment on the 26. h to Tura, and Godellata to prevent this robbery. Valdes had 1,800 infantry and 220 cavalry at Chive, and Merino was at Chelva. The fortification of the former is far advanced, and there is no fear of the enemy there, they having plenty of provisions and ammunition. A caravey was between Liria and Villmarchante. The bulk of the rekels slept on the 26th at Algemesi. Reinforcements have been sent from Valencia to Cullera, which defended itself so well. The villages of the Ribera are ruined ; the rebels prefer hot ses and money. Letters from Vinaroz describe the state of Morella on the 20th and 21st as follows t-100 houses have been set on fire ; three have been campletely destroyed, and all the buildings of the town suffered more or less. There are four breaches in the wall, the principal one, near San Miguel, is about tan varas in extent. The inhabitants repaired the breaches !with bags of wool and cushions. They do not expect our troops again at present, but lay in a good stock of lime, no doubt to repair the fortification.. The loss of the rebels is calculated at 400 persona, as the Women took a very active part in the defence, carrying their furniture to the churches, and setting fire to it at the moment of the assault.

Strt—The publi c are under great obligati on t o you f or pub lishing Mr. Pateinoster's letter to Mrs. Scott, and also for your remarks on Friday evening. 1 feel with you, " it is hoped it will not be lost sight of." As no other paper has taken up your benignant view:, I hope you will 9bield hint, notwithstanding he is immured within the walls of what is called a lUnatie ASYLUM, which may be an imprisonment for life, and produce that very disease it may be in•cnde d, or prrtendcd, to prevent. Any man or woman possessing property, with 'le - hat rela tions may call insanity, but, perhaps, only eccentric . ty with a harrrauss disposition, and yet a tendency not to improve, but to lessen, his property—may be, it appears, legally or ILLE GALLY, suddenly taken prisoner; and, if of an exciteable or nervous temperament, be driven to insanity by the associations arri deprivations of a lunatic asylum. If a large and expen,ivw eAablishment is taken and superintoJed by one or two medical men—it is of course their interest to have the house filled with inhabitants, and ought to be very closely watched. AN ECCENTRIC. CHARGES OF LUNACY. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. Esteemed &r—l find in the Morning Chronicle of yester day a letter, dated the 3d inst., written by a Mr. Bristow, with a view of justifying the treatment of Mr. Paternoster. I am not in the habit of taking any thing for granted because simply asserted and acted upon b/ some persons —proof, REASONABLE PROOF, can alone satisfy..me, and, in all cases of the nature of Mr. Paternoster's, humanity must imperatively demand it. I have already written that lam not influenced by any knowledge of Mr. Paternoster, the awfulness of any pos sible wrong-doing in such a matter irresistibly requires grave and unwavering attention until strict justice is done. Mr. Bris_ tow alleges that heretofore some persons have considered Mr. Paternoster insane. Wbat of this ? They might not have had any sufficient or tenable grounds for their opinion at any past time ; the matter might have proceeded exporte then, this ought to he gone into mote pro tune or de novo, if relied on an amounting to any thing that should prejudice the person then so charged is a matter now charged against him. All impar tial persons will readily cede that state or character at one period is no fair or safe evidence of either at another, Bristow refers to some trust deed, giving a poser to confine Mr. P. 1 should like to sea a copy of the singularly curious dozument. What a precedent ? Who could the grantors be, in whom such a right to seize as a Moo, and confine in a ma niae's dungeon a human being, was vested, and who, possessing it, conveyed it to trustees ? Mr. Bristow states that the nte gistrate was not to blame—in effect, that he could not do more than he did. No cases are, however, given to prove that this is the law. Mr. Bristow pleases to condescend to wt ire so, but does not think fit to trouble himself to cite a case in support of his dictum, and I shall not waste time in citing cases to show that Mr. Bristow is not infallibly profound in legal knowledge. Lord Tenterden's opinion, stated in my first letter, will show you son Olina of the law. Supposing (for the sake of argument) Mr. Bristow's opinion of the law to be earrcct—will such a law be allowed to remain any longer unaltered ? Is it tolerable ? Who would like, by pos sibility, to come under its operation? Ought, oN ANY AC COUNT, such a law to exist? Let Mr. Bristow defend it if he can I But, without discussing further what is the law ar , d we l t ,1:, , i g n i l l y sh m and e n which fi r m ly ap t know wh a t i s t h e practice in eases of alleged lunacy, jury can alone fi' osi d, and ei all which is not d en i e d to t h e most feroc i ous cr i m i na l s ! o s et f r o i a r 1 I am, est eeme d Si r, your ' s, respec tf u ll y, _p b r y otection tO the per a son E Bth September.
